I have been trying to locate a source for the approximately 8 x 8 white
metal trays with a lip used in reading recovery for magnetic letter work and
word building. Although we have checked several catalog sources, including
one commonly used by R.R., I have been unable to locate them. If any one
Just an idea, but I have used tin stove burner covers. You know the ones your
grandma most likely had that had something decorative like an apple on it that
was placed over each stove burner. You can find them in a set of 4 at most
dollar stores. They are magnetic and you can write on them
Hi Lori,
I don't know if she has what you are looking for, but I've ordered from

I used small (8x 10) cookie sheets for my groups- I think I got them at
Wal-mart. In my RR lessons I used a small white board/magnetic tray with a
plastic red lip. I might have the company name at work. I will check today.

I actually went to the Christmas Tree Shops and got a bunch of small cookie
sheets. They work great! Make sure you bring a magnet with you to be sure they
are the right kind of metal. Not all of them work!
Good Luck!

Wow! Where do you start with Patricia Polacco. They are all so fabulous! My

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing, but my students use metal

stack well.

I've used the Steps to Literacy catalog before to get these. They have a ton
of materials for word work and have some of the best customer service that I've

I just read The Graves Family to my class today. They were so engaged!
It's a long book, though.

Does anyone know of a good website that has picture books to be used when
teaching comprehension strategies for kids grades K-5. I have been looking into
the Linda Hoyt book but was wondering if there isn't a similar website online.
Thanks

He is reading on a first grade reading level. He is very aware of his weakness

The more one is aware of what and how they think, and the schema which they

I develop a peer conference form off of the rubric the students are using for a
particular study. It basically has two parts, What I liked about the

with each other and then itemize a specific Plan of Action, and then
I am not sure about the resource you mentioned, but I have seen the stove top

Jenn,
Visualizing and vocalizing are very effective techniques, so it's no wonder
that your students are doing so well. Regarding your student who needs to
find what works for her for getting started, I have a couple of suggestions,
but they can either be the best or worst ideas for this
Oh, yes, especially if they buddy read. Might need more than just a little
support though. Definitely the content of her books lends itself to a
familiarity to aid comprehension even with less than optimal accuracy.
